[Apology] Today's Osaka tournament cancellation notice

Regarding the Stardom Osaka tournament held today, one player who has not participated in this tournament was determined to be corona positive, and due to the situation where it is difficult to identify rich contacts, it was just before considering the safety of customers and players. We have decided to cancel the tournament.

We apologize for any inconvenience and anxiety to everyone who was looking forward to the match.

We would also like to express our deepest apologies to the customers who came to the venue during the hot weather today, as we made the final decision and announced.

A separate announcement will be made regarding ticket refund support.

All the players and staff who participated today are warm and have no symptoms such as a cold.

Future correspondence will be decided after consultation with doctors and public health centers.

We appreciate your understanding and understanding.

This marks the second event by a Japanese promotion canceled this week due to fever. NJPW canceled its August 13 event for the same reason. You can find more information on the NJPW cancelation by clicking here
